which tho Oregon, California & Kns

carry on, according to Robert K.
Strnhoru, of Portland, president of
that company.
Sir. Strnhoru wns In Boise yester
day, accompanied by Sirs. Strnhoru.
"Tho various railroads leading to
wards the Interior of Oregon owned
by tlio llnrrlman nnd Hill Interests
nro opposed to plans or nuy policy
thnt would necessitate tho expendi
ture of funds for extension," snld Mr.
Btrahorn. "That Is cortaln, They,
therefore are satisfied to rent with
their presont terminals.
"Tlio construction would mean
shortening of the distance from this
territory to Portland by 150 miles
and to San Francisco 700 miles over
tho present transportation facilities
offered to that city. This, naturally,
would bo an advantage. It would
also make a vast empire In the cen
tral portion of Oregon trlhutnry to
Portland, San Francisco nnd Boise,
as well.
"I do not believe that tho proposed
routo from here to Wlnuomiiccn to
perfect a connection there with the
Western Parlllc is feaslblo. I inn
fr.mlllnr with the routo, having been
over It In former years. The cost of
construction would not only be groat,
but tho territory doiw not .offer In
ducements for n rnllroad. There Is
little to draw from' hero to Win no
